A number of viral videos depict a similar theme. On the morning of a big day – sometimes Christmas, sometimes a birthday – parents will train cameras on their children as they tell them the family is going to Disney World … and they’re leaving today. The kids, overwhelmed with the prospect of meeting Mickey in person, burst into tears.

This strategy may be adorable (or traumatizing, depending on how you look at it), but the premise neglects a lot of nagging questions. How do you discretely pack for a week away without giving away the scheme? Will holiday travel slow down the festivities? Is there a way to chaotically dart through an airport and reach your destination while avoiding the dreaded Home Alone scenario?

With the aid of Undercover Tourist, people can surprise would-be travelmates with a trip to Orlando, without the complications. The service offers ticket packages to distinctive Orlando attractions – such as Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World – without the need to set a specific date. Ticket bundles are valid throughout the year and don’t need to be used consecutively (however, the tickets will expire 14 days after the date of the first use). Undercover Tourist offers several discounts for purchasing tickets in bulk. A top-selling item includes a five-day ticket to various Disney World parks for the price of four. Additionally, Undercover Tourist gives travelers the option to have their tickets shipped to them, or picked up on-site.

Purchasing tickets well in advance holds a number of advantages. Travelers will be able to avoid price-hikes at the gate, as well as long lines to gain entrance. With ticket prices fixed, families can better budget their vacation for optimal fun. Not to mention, with the holidays just around the corner, there’s something special about seeing your loved ones light up with joy when they peek beneath the wrapping of that final package.

With the ability to nab admission tickets without having to hammer down a flight or hotel booking, families are able to surprise love ones with a trip, but can choose a vacation date that best suits everyone’s needs (the best time to visit Orlando is in early May). While “we’re going to Disney World in 4-6 months!” may be a little less exciting than “we’re going to Disney World today!” the exhilaration is no less authentic.
